YesAsia Editorial Description

First published in 2009, the best-selling Sword Art Online light novel series has inspired two seasons of television animation, manga adaptations and multiple games. The series about the virtual reality worlds of massively multiplayer online role-playing games leaps to the silver screen in its first feature film Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale. Helmed by the TV anime's director Ito Tomohiko, Ordinal Scale unfolds an original story set in 2026 when a new augmented reality system called Augma is launched. The most popular new game is the combat-based Ordinal Scale which features a ranking system. Kirito, Asuna and the rest of the gang join Ordinal Scale, only to discover that the game is far more dangerous and nefarious than they imagined.
